Justine Henin - 'To succeed during a very painful personal period brought big satisfaction' - Legends’ Voice

Ash Barty, who has decided to skip the Sunshine Double, has held the crown for a total of 118 weeks … one week more than Justine. And out of those 118 weeks, the Australian has captured that spot for 110 weeks in a row, a feat only Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert have surpassed. On the men’s side, Daniil Medvedev made his debut as world No.1 last week, putting an end to 18 years of domination from the 'Big Four' (Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray).

Rafael Nadal the man to beat, Naomi Osaka eyes return to glory at Indian Wells

Rafael Nadal will be the man to beat when Indian Wells kicks off this week while Naomi Osaka will look to begin her ascent back to the top of the tennis world at the tournament that launched her career. Nadal's season was cut short last year due to a foot injury but the Spaniard has come roaring out of the gates in 2022, winning January's Australian Open for a men's record 21st Grand Slam title. He followed that up by winning his fourth title in Acapulco last month and has not lost in 15 matches this season. "Rafa Nadal is now 35-years-old and he's never had a start to the season like this one," Indian Wells tournament director and former player Tommy Haas said on a recent podcast. "He's the guy to beat here, there's no doubt about it. And he obviously enjoys it here very much," Haas said of Nadal, a three-time winner of the Masters 1000 tournament.

ATP rankings barely moved on Monday following a weekend when the Davis Cup replaced tournaments, there was one visible change, as the Russian flag vanished from the list. Daniil Medvedev stayed on top, but the country column next to his name contained a white rectangle, after the ATP responded to the invasion of Ukraine, by deciding last week to allow Russian and Belarusian players to continue to compete, but not under their national flags. Andrey Rublev, who dropped a place to seventh, Aslan Karatsev in 22 and Karen Khachanov, who fell one spot to 26, also had their nationality hidden by the ATP.
